Electronic Shifter - Jeep grand cherokee 2014 User Manual

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

ELECTRONIC SHIFTER

Your vehicle is equipped with a fuel efficient 8 speed transmission. The electronic
shift lever in this vehicle does not slide like a conventional shifter. Instead, the shift
lever is spring loaded and moves forward and rearward, always returning to the center
position after each gear is selected.
The transmission gear (PRND) is dis-
played both on the shift lever and in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC).
